Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals (SA)

A cordless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limit for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the US government and Canada. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and established permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population. These guidelines are
based on the safety standards previously set by both US and
international standard bodies. These standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standards for cordless phones employs a unit of
measure known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC and Canada is 1.6W/kg averaged over one
gram of tissue.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level,
the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels. Before a phone model is available
for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit established by government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions
and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as

15MD Evolution – Cordless DT590

Important

This device has been shown to be capable of compliance for
localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncontrolled
environment/general population exposure limits specified in ANSI
IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement procedures specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65
Supplement C (2001) and IEEE Std. 1528- 2003 (December 2003).

Most modern electronic equipment (for example, equipment in
hospitals and cars) is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy
from cordless telephones may affect some electronic equipment.

Chemical Resistance

The alpha and numeric characters printed on the exterior of the
cordless telephone have been tested and found resistant to
chipping, fading or wearing off when the telephone is treated with
common cleaners and disinfectants or perspiration.

The following chemicals have shown no harmful effect:

• 3% Hydrochloric Acid

• M-alcohol (70% Methylated Ethanol)

• 60% Chlorhexidin 0.5mg/ml

Important: Acetone can be damaging to the plastic casing
of the cordless telephone and should not be used.

The cordless telephone is one of the most innovative products ever
developed. With it, you can maintain connectivity to traditional
telephone services while remaining mobile around the work
environment. For the safe and efficient operation of your telephone,
observe the guidelines in this manual. Your cordless telephone is a
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on it receives and sends
out radio frequency (RF) energy. The telephone operates in the
frequency range of 1921.5 to 1928.5 MHz and employs commonly
used modulation techniques.

Note: Read this information before using your cordless
telephone.

By using abbreviated numbers, you can make calls simply by
pressing a few keys. Frequently used external numbers are stored
as common abbreviated numbers in the exchange.

External numbers are stored centrally in your MD Evolution
Communication Platform. Common abbreviated numbers can be
dialled from every extension that has the authority to do so

Usually, you will have access to a general list of abbreviated
numbers valid for all users in your facility.

Additionally, based on your user rights, you may also have access
to a personal list of 20 abbreviated numbers that are either
personal, or shared among a restricted group of users.

All of these abbreviated numbers are managed by your system
administrator or possibly your facility's attendants. Contact them as
needed.

To contact an external party using abbreviated numbers :

2¿ Enter the abbreviated number

Please refer to your telephone directory.

ÜÛ Press to make the call

You call an extension and receive busy tone.

Intrusion

You can intrude on an ongoing call on a busy extension (if this
function is allowed).

3 Press to intrude.

Intrusion tone is heard and a three-party call is established. When
the called extension replaces the handset and you keep off hook,
the called extension will be recalled automatically.

Note : If you still hear the busy tone, then your extension
does not have the authority to intrude or the desired
extension is protected against Intrusion.

Call with Temporary Protection

When you place either an internal or external call that you deem
particularly important, you may choose to activate phonic
protection.

This protection, available on a call by call basis, prevents any
phonic intervention during your communication.

More particularly, this service protects you from any intrusion or
offer that could take place during your conversation, most
specifically from an attendant. These services are then refused in
light of your conversation in progress.

74 Dial the prefix "74" to access to the temporary call protection

service.

¿ Next, directly dial the desired number.

You may do so according to any of the methods available for
dialling an internal or external number.

ÜÛ Press to make the call

Note : Certain extensions (such as yours) may possibly be
equipped with permanent phonic protection. The above­described service is therefore applied to all calls that are
placed, without requiring any particular action on your part.

Outgoing Calls, Busy/No-Answer

Call in Substitution or with Signature

You can also place an external call in substitution or with signature.
This concerns the exceptional use of a third party set, to place an
external call, just as if you were using your own extension.

The main advantage of this feature is that the call is charged to your
own extension. Another advantage is that on the substituted third
party set, you have all of your extension's customary services,
most especially dialling discriminations relating to various external
numbers applicable for your extension.

This service is valid on a call-by-call basis. It is automatically
cancelled at the end of each call processed using this service.

75 Dial the prefix "75", to access to the call in substitution

service.

¿ Then dial your own extension number.

This is necessary in order to sign on to the third party set.

¿ Next, dial your user password.

By default, your user password is "1234", however you may have
modified it. (See section “Password Programming” on page 114).

ÚÙ Press in order to terminate access to this service.

You may now proceed with placing your external call in substitution
from the previous extension.

¿ Simply dial the desired external number.

You may do so according to any of the methods available on this
extension for dialling an external number. Your call is then
established normally.

DTMF End-to-End Dialling

At times, you may need to call external servers, such as a
reservation centre server, when you are required to communicate
interactively through the online transmission of various dialling
codes.

Your extension makes this option available to you through the
DTMF end-to-end dialling service. With this service, you can
directly exchange dialling codes with a remote server, without your
dialling being interpreted by your local facility.

This is processed through the exchange of DTMF codes, from
which the service's name is derived.

To use this service when placing an external call :

* Dial the "*" code to access to the DTMF end-to-end dialling

service.

Everything that is dialled thereafter is then directly transmitted to
the remote server.

Note : When you interact with the voice mail system, or the
automated attendant possibly integrated in your facility, the
aforementioned operations are not required. DTMF end-to­end dialling is automatic. See also section “DTMF Tones

Sending” on page 50 and section “Voice Mail Services” on

page 77.

Ending Calls

You may, at any time, end an ongoing call, or an outgoing call that
is being established.

This is done in the same way as with an incoming call :

ÚÙ Press.

Your extension returns to idle status.

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59048

Outgoing Calls, Busy/No-Answer

Toll Restriction and Least Cost Routing

Usually, you have access rights to the public network and all private
networks to which your facility is connected. You also usually have
the authorization to dial any type of external number, most
particularly a public number.

In terms of the facility programming dictated by your system
administrator, there may be certain external numbers that are
discriminated.

Most particularly, this may apply to numbers for service provided by
the public network, or certain international destinations. An attempt
to dial these numbers would be automatically refused.

Moreover, your facility will also most often be equipped with a Least
Cost Routing (LCR) service for external calls, especially if your
facility is connected to private networks or different public network
operators.

The LCR service therefore automatically ensures that the routing of
external numbers you dial will be processed with the least possible
cost, or managed according to the most optimal calling route.

Note : The numbers dialled using abbreviated dialling are
never subjected to any type of discrimination. If you have a
specific need or question concerning discriminated
numbers, you may ask your system administrator or facility
attendants that the numbers in questions be added to the
list of abbreviated dialling numbers.

a third party.

The initiator must absolutely request the caller's consent
prior to beginning the recording, at the conclusion of the
recording, and for any subsequent use of the recording.
Compliance with the law is the exclusive responsibility of the
user; any violation may be subject to legal action. Neither
the manufacturer nor the distributor may be held

During Calls

Non-IP Hand-Over Service

If your telephone system is integrated within a QSIG-MD private
network, and your calls are routed over your company's Intranet
network, which managed according to the IP-Trunking technique,
you may also have access to a non-IP hand-over service.

The quality of communications established over the Internet
network is generally good, mostly thanks to the implementation of
a system that gives voice calls priority over data transmitted on the
IP network.

However, occasions may arise where the quality of the voice
transmission of calls over the IP network is reduced. The non-IP
hand-over service allows you to request that your current call be
switched to a possible private digital tie line, or the public network
(depending on availability).

To activate this service during an ongoing call established over your
company's IP network :

7 Dial the suffix "7" to access to the Non-IP hand-over service.

Your call on the IP network is switched over to the non-IP network
immediately, without interrupting your call.

Note : This service is only available when your call has been
established on the IP network. The non-IP hand-over
service is not available for QSIG-MD private networks using
an Intranet network managed according to the IP­Networking technique.

Call Forwarding Services

Call Forwarding Services

Your extension also offers you various call forwarding services that
enable you to direct incoming calls to another internal or external
destination, whenever you are absent and/or busy, travelling, or
when you simply would rather not be disturbed.

The following different types of services are available :

• Call forward on no-answer condition :
Your calling parties will be re-directed to the pre-defined call
forward recipient, whenever you do not answer their calls,
typically after a 20-second delay.

• Call forward on busy condition :
Your calling parties are immediately re-directed to the pre­defined call forward recipient whenever your extension is busy.

• Call forward on no-answer and busy conditions :
Your calling parties are re-directed to the pre-defined call
forward recipient in both cases.

• Immediate call forward :
All incoming calls are immediately re-directed to the pre-defined
call forward recipient. Typically, this could be your secretary's
internal number, or your external mobile phone number when
you are travelling.

• Do not disturb call forward :
Your extension is unavailable, and no call forwarding services
were activated. Your internal party's calls are immediately
disconnected, and your "Do not disturb" status is displayed on
extensions that feature a display screen. Calls from your
external parties are immediately re-directed to your facility's
attendants.

• Call forward on mini-message :
Your extension is unavailable, and no call forwarding services
were activated. Your internal and external parties receive an
"Absent" message that you have pre-recorded.

67MD Evolution – Cordless DT590

Call Forwarding Services

The number to which a call forward may be directed could be an
internal party's individual extension, a hunt group, another user's
personal group, or even the access number for an integrated voice
mail system that your facility may use. (See section “Voice Mail

Services” on page 77).

It may also consist of an external number containing up to 18
digits, including the network access prefix. This may be an external
number that is accessible through abbreviated dialling.

You may use fixed call forward defined by your system
administrator. This may consist of a call forward on no-answer
condition, a call forward on busy condition, or a call forward on no­answer and busy conditions.

This fixed call forward is applied by default whenever you do not
define a variable call forward for your calls. This is often the case
when your facility uses the integrated voice mail service, which - by
default - receives your calls encountering a no-answer or busy
condition.

You may define all of the types of call forwards listed above, on
your own. This is referred to as a variable call forward that takes
precedence over a possible fixed call forward.

In any case, only one call forward applies at any given moment.
Defining a new variable call forward automatically cancels any
definition that previously existed.

A variable call forward is defined on a case by case basis before
you leave your extension. If you forget to define the call forward,
you may ask the attendants to remotely define it for you. You may
also define your call forward from an internal extension other than
your DT590 that will be the recipient of your call forwards. This is
the "Follow me" service.

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59068

Call Forwarding Services

Notes :

When any type of call forward is defined on your extension,
you still have the option of placing calls and activating any
type of service from your extension.

When you have defined any type of call forward to an
internal recipient, the latter has the option of calling you
without any restrictions.

When a call forward on busy condition is defined on your
extension, no more incoming calls will be presented to you
when you have an ongoing call. In the same way, the
services of consulting and answering a new call are de­activated.

For any call forward defined to be directed to an external
recipient, forwarding of calls issued from external parties
may take place either through your facility's resources or
directly at the ISDN network level, according to your
facility's configuration.

You may program a call forward from your extension to
itself. This enables you to bypass any fixed call forward that
is applicable to your extension. Your extension is therefore
available normally.

Serial call forwards between different users are authorized.

Your extension may also be subject to call forwarding from
third party sets. Certain extensions (such as yours) may
possibly be equipped with permanent protection against
receiving call forwards from third party sets. Obviously, this
service will be denied on these extensions (and vice versa).

Variable Call Forwarding

Defining a variable call forwarding on a case-by-case basis is
carried out within the framework of your extension's service
programming functions.

When your extension is idle :

¿ Dial the prefix that corresponds to the desired type of call

forward.

Usually, you will dial one of the following :

61 To activate an immediate call forwarding.
62 To activate a call forwarding on no-answer condition.
63 To activate a call forwarding on busy condition
69 To activate a call forwarding on no-answer condition and busy

condition.

64 To activate a do not disturb call forwarding.

For the first four cases :

¿ Then dial the internal or external number that will be the

recipient of your call forwards.

As previously indicated, the recipient's number may contain up to
18 digits, including the network access prefix. An external number
may be one that is accessible through abbreviated dialling.

Note : An external number is composed of the external
access prefix “0” followed by the actual external Directory
number.

Call Forwarding on Mini-Message

An alternative to all other available variable call forwarding services
(referred to above), you may also re-direct your extension to a mini­messaging or call forward on absence service.

Mini-Messages are predefined messages, they are usable for your
incoming calls in case of No Answer or Busy conditions to inform
the callers. This does not consist of a call forward in its truest sense
your incoming calls are not re-directed. Rather, the absence
message that you selected when defining the call forward will be
automatically transmitted to all internal and external parties who are
trying to reach you, in the form of an ISDN mini-message, as long
as that party's phone is compatible with the service. His/her call will
be disconnected once the message has been played.

By default, the messages available for each circumstance are the
following messages, identified by the corresponding number :

ÚÙ Press to finish the procedure

Internal callers will receive the information on the display (or as
spoken information to callers without display phone). External
callers will be routed to the operator who also has access to your
absent info.

An internal party who attempts to contact you from an extension
capable of receiving mini-messages will immediately receive your
absence message.

This may also be the case for an external ISDN party that is
compatible with the mini-messaging service, assuming that he/she
is in fact an ISDN network user, and that he/she also uses an ISDN
terminal that is compatible with the mini-messaging service. This
also assumes that your extension is not specifically and
permanently protected against the use of this call forward on
absence service for external parties.

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59072

In the opposite case, a call issued from an incompatible external
party will be redirected to your facility's attendants, who will see
your message that is automatically displayed on their extension,
and will be able to accurately inform your external calling parties.

Note : A call forward on mini-message is cancelled in the
same manner as any other type of variable call forward.

call forward service that is reserved specifically for them.

As the case may dictate, you may also remotely define your call
forward recipient from his/her internal extension. This is the "Follow

The call forward remotely defined is always an "immediate" call
forward.

If your DT590 phone is not available, you can still answer your calls
by forwarding them from an other DT590 phone. The call

Voice Mail Services

Voice Mail Services

Depending on its configuration, your facility may have an integrated
voice mail system, which may or may not be associated with an
automated attendant service.

If this is the case, you then have normal access to a personal
mailbox.

You may then program your extension to forward your calls to this
mailbox when you do not answer, if you are busy, or if you are
temporarily absent.

According to the operating mode attributed to your mailbox, your
parties will simply be informed of your absence, and then you will
have the option of either leaving a voice message for you, or having
their call redirected to an assistant or any other extension you may
have defined.

Whenever a new voice message is left in your mailbox, you will be
automatically notified by an icon displayed on your extension. You
may also program the system to notify an external number as well.

Calling the integrated voice mail service then permits you to consult
each new voice message that was left, and then you may either
delete it or archive it, as you deem necessary. You may consult your
mailbox from your extension, from any other extension in the facility,
or from an external network.

You also have mailbox management options, such as recording a
personalized greeting, programming an external notification upon
reception of voice mail, or programming an assistant's number, as
the case may dictate.

If you are part of (a) hunt group(s) (see section “Group Services” on
page 97.), you will also receive voice mail that may be left for the
hunt group in general when no one answers, if the group is
congested or when it is closed. These messages may also be
consulted directly from your individual mailbox.

Besides your individual mailbox, you may also be assigned to a
common mailbox for distribution purposes, which may also be
shared between different extensions in your facility.

77MD Evolution – Cordless DT590

Voice Mail Services

This then allows calling parties, or even you, to leave a voice
message in this common mailbox that will then be distributed to all
of the members who share this mailbox.

Note : This is also true, of course, of all the other
extensions in your facility. Everyone then, has the liberty of
leaving voice mail in any available individual or common
mailbox.

Voice Mailbox Modes

Your individual mailbox may be managed according to one of the
following three operating modes :

•In answering mode : Your mailbox only plays an absence
message that you may manage yourself. Calling parties who are
directed to your mailbox hear your message, however they are
not able to leave a message for you.

•In recording mode : Your mailbox plays a greeting that you may
manage yourself. Then, calling parties who are directed to your
mailbox hear your message, and then may leave a voice
message for you that you may subsequently consult.

•In personal assistant mode : Your mailbox plays a greeting
that you may manage yourself. Then, calling parties who are
directed to your mailbox may either leave a voice message, or if
they so desire, be redirected to your assistant, to another
extension you previously designated, or to your facility's
attendants.

The selection of an operating mode for each mailbox is usually
overseen by your system administrator. The mode usually used is
the recording mode (which is assumed in the rest of this guide).

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59078

Call Forwarding to Voice Mailbox

Forwarding calls to your individual mailbox may be effective
according to one of the following types of call forwards :

• Call forward on no-answer condition : Your calling parties
will be re-directed to your mailbox, whenever you do not
answer, typically after a 20-second delay.

• Call forward on busy condition : Your calling parties are
immediately re-directed to your mailbox whenever your
extension is busy.

• Call forward on no-answer and busy conditions : Your
calling parties are re-directed to your mailbox when there is no
answer and when your extension is busy.

• Immediate call forward : All calls are immediately re-directed
to your mailbox.

This may consist of a fixed call forward on no-answer condition, on
busy condition, or a call forward on no-answer and busy conditions
that was defined by your system administrator. This is applied by
default whenever you do not define a variable call forward for your
calls. This is often the case when a facility uses as an integrated
voice mail service, which - by default - receives your calls
encountering a no-answer or busy condition.

You may also program the call forwarding to your mailbox yourself.
This variable call forward takes precedence over a possible fixed
call forwards.

The operating modes for these different services are identical to the
other call forwarding services - See section “Call Forwarding

Services” on page 67.

Simply put, the recipient number for your call forward is the internal
access number for your facility's integrated voice mail system.

Voice Mailbox Greeting Messages

Once a call forward to your mailbox has been programmed, parties
directed to your mailbox will first receive a greeting message.

By default, the greeting message is : "Welcome in the called
extension mailbox". In the case where the call forward is on busy
condition, it is preceded by the following system message : "The
requested extension is busy".

You may personalize this greeting as you wish. Until you have
personalized the greeting, the system will offer you this option
whenever you consult your mailbox.

A new system message then prompts the party to leave a voice
message after the "beep" (except in cases of where the mailbox is
set to answering mode only).

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59080

Voice Mail Services

The standard configuration allows a voice message to last up to 30
minutes, with up to a total of 100 messages that may be saved in
your mailbox, depending on the voice mail system's capacity.

Notes :

Messages lasting less than 3 seconds are not taken into
account. An 8-second silence will automatically terminate a
voice message.

This is also the case when you are directed to your calling
party's mailbox.

Voice Mailbox Messages Internal Notification

Whenever a new message is left in your mailbox, you will be
immediately notified by an icon displayed on your extension.

Voice message received and unread.
This notification status remains until you have consulted the new

message, or if there are any unread messages in your mailbox
Received messages are divided into the following three categories :

• New messages (not heard); indicated by a vocal message and
a special dial tone.

• Stored messages; not indicated.

Voice Mailbox Messages External Notification

You may also program your extension to automatically notify you at
an external number whenever a new voice message is left in your
mailbox.

Typically, this number could be your GSM mobile phone when you
are out of the office.

When a new message is left in your mailbox, a call is then
automatically emitted to each external number that you have
defined.

81MD Evolution – Cordless DT590

Voice Mail Services

If you answer this automatic call, you will be transferred directly to
your mailbox. You will then be prompted to enter your user
password in order to consult your new voice message.

If you do not answer within a certain timeframe (typically, 30
seconds), the automatic call process will be repeated with up to 5
consecutive attempts, executed at 45-minute intervals (typical
values).

Note : External notifications of new voice messages left in
your mailbox is usually restricted to business hours
between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., based on your facility's local
time.

Voice Mailbox Internal Access

Access the mailbox from your own extension

» Press to enter the message system

or

¿ Enter the directory number of the mailbox system.

Listen and follow the voice announcements in the main menu.
Consulting voice messages left in your mailbox is usually carried

out from the extension that was notified.

Depending on the configuration, you might be asked for your
password before you can enter your mailbox :

¿ Enter your user password.

By default, your user password is "1234", however you may have
modified it. (See section “Password Programming” on page 114).

Voice Mailbox External Access

Normally, it is also possible for you to access your voice mail from a
DTMF analogue extension or a GSM mobile phone that supports
DTMF end-to-end dialling mode on an external network.

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59082

Voice Mail Services

Access is then gained through the automated attendant usually
implemented and associated with a system's integrated voice mail,
even when an automated attendant's functions are not effectively
used.

Access is gained as follows :

¿ Dial the DID number for your company's automated

attendant (AA).

Usually, the internal number for the automated attendant is 885.
This is associated with DID numbers relating to your facility.
Contact your system administrator for more information.

You are then connected to the automated attendant's voice menu.

¿ Dial "*" in order for your call to be transferred to voice mail.

"*" is the code used by default to consult voice mail through the
automated attendant. It may have been replaced by "#".

You are then connected to the voice mail system and are prompted
to dial the mailbox number you wish to access.

¿ Dial your extension number, which is also your mailbox

number.

As with internal consultation, a system message prompts you to
enter your user password.

¿ Enter your user password.

By default, your user password is "1234", however you may have
modified it. (See section “Password Programming” on page 114).

You are now connected to your mailbox's consultation menu.

Notes :

Interaction with the voice mail system or automated
attendant is carried out through the exchange of DTMF
codes. For an internal call, the transition to DTMF end-to­end dialling is automatic. It is also the default from an
external analogue DTMF extension. From a GSM mobile
phone, transition to DTMF end-to-end dialling may
necessitate a specific operation, depending on the GSM
mobile phone involved.

The above method is also applicable for consulting your
voice mail from a third party set within your facility. Simply
begin by dialling the internal number - typically 885 - for the
automated attendant.

An alternative solution for accessing your mailbox from
outside your facility is dialling your DID number. If your
extension is successfully connected to the voice mail
system, the rest of the procedure is identical to that
described.

Voice Mailbox Managing

Whether you consult your voice mailbox from your own extension,
from a third party set, or from an external network, once you are
connected to your mailbox's consultation menu, the services
offered to you for processing your messages are always the same.

This also is true of the personalization services for your mailbox,
accessed in the same manner.

Initially, your mailbox will indicate how many voice messages were
recorded, according to one of the following two system message
forms :

• "You have X new messages and Y old messages".

• "You have no message. Please hang-up or dial * to customize
your mailbox".

The voice mail system distinguishes new messages that have not
been heard from those that have already been heard and that were
subsequently automatically archived, unless you specifically erased
them.

These are organized into two distinct lists, where each type of
message is sorted in chronological order from the oldest to the
newest.

They are consulted beginning with new messages, from the oldest
to the newest, then continue with the archived messages, from the
oldest to the newest.

Next, the consultation menu will indicate the various services that
are available for managing your messages. You may listen to it in its
entirety, or interrupt it at any time by dialling a service code.

Note : The consultation menu is repeated up to 3 times if
you do not execute an action when it is being played. It is
also automatically repeated when a service has been
successfully completed.

The services available for listening to voice messages
are as follows :

¿ Dial "3" to listen to the next message.

Initially, you will hear the oldest "new" message, and then each
following message, in the chronological order described above

¿ Dial "1" to listen to the previous message.

You then will hear the messages in the opposite chronological order
of the one described above.

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59084

Voice Mail Services

¿ Dial "2" to listen to the previously selected message.

The message is repeated from the beginning.

¿ Dial "4" to rewind within the current message.

The message is rewound to the point 10 seconds prior to the
current point.

¿ Dial "5" to listen to pause or restart the current message.

Pressing the pause code the first time will suspend the play of the
message at the current point. Pressing the same code a second
time restarts the message from this same point; play will be
automatically restarted after a 15-second pause.

¿ Dial "6" to listen to fast-forward within the current message.

The message is fast-forwarded to the point 10 seconds past to the
current point.

You may also request the date and time stamping for the message
to which you are currently listening. To do so :

¿ Dial "7" to obtain the date and time stamping for the current

message.

Depending on whether the message was left on that same day or a
previous day, the day/month (DDMM) and hour/minute (HHMM)
data concerning when your message was left are transmitted
vocally on your extension (according to one of the forms described
below), and then your current message is restarted.

• "Message received at HHMM today".

• "Message received at HHMM on DDMM".

Once you have listened to your messages in whole or in part, you
may then individually erase each message, or request that your
entire mailbox be erased. To do so :

¿ Dial "8" to listen erase the current message.

This can be carried out immediately following the message, or while
it is being played.

¿ Dial "8 #" to erase all of the messages in your mailbox.

This pertains to both new and archived messages in your mailbox,
even if the former have not been heard.

In either case, a system message will prompt you to confirm
erasing the current message or all of your mailbox messages.

At any time, you may exit the voice mail system. To do so :

¿ Dial "9" to end your call

Pressing the pause code the first time will suspend the play of the
message at the current point. Pressing the same code a second
time restarts the message from this same point; play will be
automatically restarted after a 15-second pause.

85MD Evolution – Cordless DT590

Voice Mail Services

ÚÙ Press to end this service.

Your extension returns to idle status.
The non-consulted messages remain classified as new messages,

while consulted messages are automatically archived.
The icon indicating new messages will still be displayed on your

extension if any non-consulted voice messages remain. On the
other hand, if you have consulted all of your mailbox messages,
your extension is automatically un-notified.

Note : Typically, new messages are saved for a period of 30
days. Archived messages are typically saved for 7 days,
after which they are automatically erased

Automatic Call-Back from Voice Mailbox Message

When you are consulting a voice message, you also have the
option of automatically calling the number that the system
automatically saved when the caller left the message.

This may consist of an internal or external calling party, according
to his/her identification provided by the ISDN network (or
equivalent).

To do this, while listening to a message :

¿ Simply dial "0".

The person who left the message is then automatically called and
the call is established just as if you had manually dialled the internal
or external party's number.

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59086

Voice Mail Services

Additional Personal Assistant Services

If your mailbox is set to personal assistant mode, you offer your
calling parties the option of leaving voice messages that you may
subsequently process as previously described.

They also have the option of being directed to the personal
assistant you designated - typically your secretary's extension or
your facility's attendants.

To do so, after your greeting is played, the system message is
played and prompts each caller to leave a voice message after a
"beep", and also offers them the following alternative options :

¿ Dial "0" to be connected to your personal assistant.

The call is then directly connected to the designated internal
extension, or by default - if you had not defined it - to the
attendants.

¿ Dial "9" to be connected to the attendants.

The call is directly routed to the attendants.
If neither of the two preceding codes is dialled within a 3-second

delay, the call is directed to your mailbox, by default

Notes :

The number for a personal assistant may possibly be an
external number.

This is also the case when you are directed to you calling
party's mailbox that is set to personal assistant mode.

Voice Mailbox Personalization Services

Whether you consult your voice mailbox from your own extension,
a third party set, or from an external network, once you are
connected to your mailbox's consultation menu, the services
offered to you for personalizing your mailbox are always the same.

To do so, while listening to your mailbox consultation menu :

¿ Begin by dialling "*".

You will then hear the personalization menu for your mailbox.

87MD Evolution – Cordless DT590

Voice Mail Services

This menu will present the various services that are available for
personalizing your mailbox. You may listen to it in its entirety, or
interrupt it at any time by dialling a service code.

Note : The personalization menu is repeated up to 3 times
if you do not execute an action when it is being played. It is
also automatically repeated when a service has been
successfully completed.

The services available for personalizing your mailbox
are as follows :

¿ Dial "1" to manage your greeting message.

This applies no matter what operating mode your mailbox is set to,
and allows you to manage the first message that callers who are
directed to your mailbox will hear.

A new menu is therefore played, which prompts you to :

• Dial "1" to listen to the greeting that is currently saved.

• Dial "2" to record your new greeting. The maximum length for a
greeting is 3 minutes. You may end the recording by dialling any
code, or by remaining silent for 8 seconds.

• Dial "3" to erase the greeting that is currently saved. It is then
replaced by the default greeting proposed by the voice mail
system, until you record a new one.

• Dial "9" to return to the main mailbox personalization menu

¿ Dial "5" to manage your answering message.

This especially applies if your mailbox is managed in answering
mode. If that is the case, this command enables you to manage the
message that is typically an absence message played after your
greeting message for callers directed to your mailbox.

A new menu is then played, offering you the same services as for
recording your greeting message, as described above.

¿ Dial "6" to manage your personal assistant service.

This especially applies if your mailbox is managed in personal
assistant mode.

A new menu is therefore played, which prompts you to :

• Dial "1" to hear the number currently saved for your personal
assistant. This information is played back for you through voice
synthesis, one digit at a time

• Dial the sequence : "2 <Personal assistant number> #" to save
your personal assistant's number. It may consist of an internal
or external number, containing up to 18 digits, including the
external network access prefix.

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59088

Voice Mail Services

• Dial "4" to erase the number currently saved for your personal
assistant. It is then replaced by a number for a facility attendant.

• Dial "9" to return to the main mailbox personalization menu.

¿ Dial "2" to manage a possible external notification for

messages left in your mailbox.

This especially applies if your mailbox is managed in recording or
personal assistant mode.

A new menu is therefore played, which prompts you to :

• Dial "1" to hear the number currently saved for external
notification. This information is played back for you through
voice synthesis, one digit at a time.

• Dial the sequence : "2 <External recipient number> #" to save
your external notification recipient number. It may contain up to
18 digits, including the network access prefix.

• Dial "3" to activate or de-activate the external notification
service. If the service was initially inactive, it will be activated,
and vice versa. Deactivating the service has no impact on the
recipient number for the service that is reputed and remains
programmed.

• Dial "4" to erase the number currently saved for external
notification.

• Dial "9" to return to the main mailbox personalization menu.

¿

89MD Evolution – Cordless DT590

¿ Dial "9" to end personalization.

You will then be returned to your mailbox consultation menu

Notes :

Each time something new is programmed, the system will
provide confirmation. If a service is activated or deactivated,
the confirmation clearly states that "the service is activated"
or "the service is deactivated", as the case may be.

In relation to your user password, it is very important that
you modify it, to ensure the confidentiality of your mailbox.
If you ever forget your password, you can request that it be
re-initialized, either by a system attendant, or by the system
administrator.

Voice Mailbox for Hunt Group

If you are part of a hunt group with the purpose of distributing calls,
a common mailbox may be associated with the group.

This common mailbox may then receive calls from parties
requesting the group when their calls remain unanswered from the
group member allocated to each call, or when their calls encounter
a "congested" or "closed" hunt group status.

Callers may then leave a voice message that is, in this case,
distributed and notified to each member of the hunt group, in usual
fashion.

You may consult this voice message from your individual mailbox.
This is carried out in the same way as you would access a
message destined for you personally, with the same processing
services available. There is no distinction in your mailbox between
individual messages and group messages.

A voice message left for a group is automatically un-notified on
your extension, as soon as you consult it, just as it would for an
individual message.

The only particularity is that a global denotification of a "common"
message of this type will only take place after each member of the
hunt group has consulted it.

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59090

Voice Mail Services

Voice Mailbox for Mailing List

Independent of any hunt group notion, you or your internal calling
parties may be assigned to a common mailbox for a mailing list in
addition to your (their) individual mailbox.

This enables a user to initiate a voluntary distribution of a voice
message to the members associated with the common mailbox for
a mailing list.

For example, a common mailbox associated with a department
would enable the department manager, any other member of the
department, or even a third party to voluntarily distribute a voice
message to all department members, to, for example, call a
meeting.

Access to this type of common mailbox for a mailing list is gained
through the automated attendant usually implemented and
associated with a system's integrated voice mail system, even
when an automated attendant's functions are not effectively used.

Access is gained as follows :

¿ Dial the number for your company's automated attendant

(AA).

Usually, the internal number for the automated attendant is 885. If
you need more information, contact your system administrator.

ÜÛ Press

Wait for the Service Acceptance Tone

You are then connected to the automated attendant's voice menu

¿ Dial "8" in order for your call to be transferred to voice mail.

"8" is the code used to access the area for leaving voice mail
through the automated attendant.

¿ Dial the number for the common mailbox for a mailing list you

wish to access.

Always beginning with a "0", the number for a common mailbox
may vary from 0002 to 0999.

You may then leave your message before ending your call.
As with a message addressed to a hunt group, this message will

then be distributed and notification will be sent to all of the
members associated with the common mailbox for a mailing list, in
usual fashion.

Each member may then consult it through his/her individual
mailbox. This is carried out in the same way as for an individual
message, with the same processing services available.

There is no distinction in your mailbox between individual
messages and mailing list messages.

91MD Evolution – Cordless DT590

Voice Mail Services

A mailing list voice message is automatically un-notified on each
extension, as soon as each member consults it, just as with an
individual message.

Once again, the only particularity is that a global denotification of a
"mailing list" message of this type will only take place after each
member of the common mailbox has consulted it.

Notes :

On a standard system, there may be up to 16 common
mailboxes, each with the capacity to include up to 32
members or individual mailboxes. One individual internal
user may be associated with several common mailboxes.

The procedure is applicable from an external network;
instead of dialling 885, you would dial the DID number for
the automated attendant. It is also applicable for leaving a
message in an individual mailbox, without having to call the
party.

Voice Mailbox for Attendants

Your facility's attendants also have a common mailbox dedicated
specifically to them, which they share.

Its purpose is to receive - when the attendants are absent - call
forwards of general calls that are ordinarily processed by the
attendants, typically when your facility is set to night mode.

This common mailbox is also accessible voluntarily. Its number is

0001.

This common mailbox is distinct due to the fact that when a voice
message is left, all of the attendants' extensions are notified;
however, when one of them consults the message, all of the
extensions are globally un-notified.

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59092

Voice Mail Services

Integrated Web Server and Unified Messaging

According to the configuration of your telephone facility, you may
also have access to three PC applications that offer even more
user-friendly management of your integrated voice mail services.

• The first application, called Integrated Web Server, opens the
integrated voice messaging system for your telephone
installation within your company's IT network.

In practice, this enables you to consult the messages left in your
mailbox directly from your Multimedia desktop PC. The
characteristics for each voice mail left are displayed in real time.

You may also listen to each voice message using your
Multimedia PC sound card, and then erase the voice message
after you've listened to it.

You also have access to all of your mailbox's personalization
services directly from your desktop PC, including its general
operating mode. All of this is carried out completely interactively
with the integrated voice mail system.

Note : Access to your Integrated Web Server is controlled
by entering your extension number and user password.

• The second additional application is called Unified
Messaging. Its purpose is to merge your facility's integrated

voice mail system with the e-mail system that is usually present
within your company's IT network.

In practice, this application provides an e-mail notification to
your desktop PC each time a voice message is left in your
mailbox, in addition to the usual notification methods on your
telephone extension.

With this application as well, you may listen to a voice message
through your Multimedia desktop PC sound card.

You may also use your PC to control your telephone extension
to process each voice message, or even to return a call to
someone who left you a voice message.

You then have access to all of the methods available for
personalizing your use of Unified Messaging. Most notably, you
may manage the voice message e-mail notification address,
which on occasion could be a laptop remotely connected
through the Internet.

Group Services

Group Services

Most of the time, you will be working as a team - within a
department, for example. Your extension offers you different
additional services designed specifically for working as a team.

First of all, it provides the option of supervising your colleagues'
extensions, thus ensuring comprehensive call coverage. You may
also call a colleague or intercept calls for each other.

Secondly, your extension may also be part of a hunt group - within
your department or another department - that calling parties may
call whenever they need to, not just to contact you personally, but
to contact someone within your department.

Your extension provides a simplified call pick-up service within a
hunt group. It also offers you the option of managing your own
participation in this service within the group. This is also referred to
as the In/Out status management within a group.

If you have been designated as the supervisor of a hunt group, you
have the ability to open and close the hunt group according to your
department's business hours.

Finally, while it's not really a group service, you also have access to
a personal group, which is designed for grouping various
extensions that may be assigned to you - for example, your DT590
extension, and another phone. It could be your Mobile Extension
(See section “Mobile Extension Service” on page 103). Different
services are then provided for you to process your calls as
efficiently as possible within a personal group.

97MD Evolution – Cordless DT590

Group Services

Hunt Groups

Your extension may be part of a hunt group for which the purpose
is to distribute calls among the members of your department or
other group.

A call received on your hunt group number will then be
automatically directed to an extension within the group that is free ­such as your own - according to predefined distribution criteria.
Generally, this criteria is established to ensure even distribution of
calls between the various members of the group.

The presentation of an incoming call for your group is therefore
carried out just as it would for an individual call presented on your
extension. (See section “Incoming Calls” on page 37).

As a result, you have access to all the same processing services as
you would for your personal calls.

If you do not answer your hunt group call within a typical 30­second timeframe, it may be presented to a different extension in
your group that is free. The call may also be directed to a third party
set or other overflow group, such as your facility's attendants.
Depending on the definition for each hunt group, the call may also
be re-directed to a dissuasion message.

If all of your hunt group's members are busy, a call that is
presented, as the case dictates, may be directed to a third party
set or other overflow group, such as your facility's attendants.
Alternatively, depending on the definition of each group, the call
may be placed in a call waiting queue to await a member of the
group to be free, or directed to a dissuasion message.

This extension, overflow group or dissuasion message may also be
solicited when your group is closed.

In practice, you may be part of several hunt groups. One hunt
group is then established as your primary group, while the others
are considered to be secondary.

You primary group has a processing priority feature. Therefore,
when there are several different calls presented on the various
groups of which you are a part, those for your primary group will
take precedence.

MD Evolution – Cordless DT59098

Group Services

The calls presented on your secondary groups are also
automatically managed by the system, but without any particular
priority.

Notes :

It is your system administrator's job to define how each
hunt group will operate. It is also the system administrator's
responsibility to define to which hunt group(s) you will be
assigned, and which one will be your primary group.

Your facility may contain up to 16 hunt groups.

Call Pick-Up in Hunt Group

When you belong to one or several hunt group(s), you have access
to the same call processing services for calls bound for these
groups as you would for managing your personal calls.

Your extension also offers a simplified call pick-up service within
each hunt group, which enables you to answer any call that is
ringing on an extension that belongs to one of your groups, without
having to move to that extension or dial its extension number.

14 Dial the prefix "14" to pick up a call presented on your

primary group.

Or,

¿ Dial the appropriate prefix to pick up a call presented on any

of your secondary groups

ÜÛ Press

In either case, you are now directly connected to the party calling
the other extension.

99MD Evolution – Cordless DT590

Group Services

Notes :

The simplified call pick-up described above applies only if
the call that is picked up is for the group involved, or a
personal call for a member of the involved group.

If several calls are ringing within the same group, the oldest
call will be automatically selected. If several calls are ringing
within different secondary groups, the call that is picked up
will be automatically selected by the system.

Your extension may also be subject to call pick-up from
third party sets that belong to the same group as you.

The call pick-up access prefix within secondary groups
differs from one facility to another.

Standby Status in Hunt Group

When you belong to one or several hunt groups, you may also
manage your availability for answering calls that are directed to
your group(s).

This standby service enables you to temporarily withdraw from a
hunt group. Therefore, you would only receive personal calls, or
those that are directed to the groups from which you have not
withdrawn.

Once again, the system distinguishes your position in relation to
your primary group as well as your secondary groups.

To manage your group standby status, from an idle extension :

68 Dial the prefix "68" to proceed to standby within your primary

group.

ÜÛ Press

Wait for the Service Acceptance Tone

If your extension was active within your primary group, it will now
be on standby. On the other hand, if your extension was on
standby, it will now be active within your primary group.
